Where the amount of designation fees paid is not sufficient to cover all the States designated in the application, the amount paid shall be applied in respect of the States designated in the order in which they are designated and to the extent to which they are covered by the fee paid; the late payment in full of a designation fee shall be subject to the payment of the surcharge indicated in Annex AP.I.

AP.12

HP Sec. 55,

HR 66

The national legislation of this Office refers to “restoration of rights”.

Reinstatement of rights may be requested where the applicant lost any right because, in spite of all due care required by the circumstances having been taken, failed to comply with a time limit before the office. A request for reinstatement of rights must be filed within two months after the removal of the cause of the failure to perform the action, but not later than one year from the expiration of the time limit which has not been observed. Within the said time limits, the omitted act must be completed, the fee for reinstatement (refer to Annex AP.I) must be paid, and the request must state the grounds on which it is based and must set out the facts on which it relies. Reinstatement of rights is not applicable to the time limit for claiming priority.

[MT] AP.13 实用新型

If the applicant wishes to obtain a utility model registration in ARIPO on the basis of an international application

(i) instead of a patent, or

(ii) in addition to a patent,

the applicant, when performing the acts referred to in Article 22 or Article 39, shall so indicate to the Office.

AP.14

If the international application is for a utility model instead of a patent, the requirements are basically the same as for patents. The time limit applicable for entry into the national phase is 31 months under PCT Article 22 or 39(1), however, the term of protection of utility models is 10 years from the international filing date.

AP.15

If the international application is for both a utility model and a patent, the applicant must, within the time limit applicable for entry into the national phase, comply with the following requirements:

(i) pay two filing fees for both the patent and the utility model within 14 days from entry into the national phase;

(ii) where the international application was not filed in English, furnish a translation into English in two copies, including the description and at least one claim.

[MT] AP.16 转换

HP Sec. 54,

HR 74,

HAI 52(2),

HAI 52(3)

An international application for a patent may be converted into a utility model application and vice versa. Conversion from a patent application into a utility model application must be undertaken within three months from the date of entry into the national phase. However, the applicant can still apply to the ARIPO if the three months time limit has expired for the conversion, as long as the patent application has not yet been examined as to substance. A fee for requesting conversion is due (refer to Annex AP.I).
